Hilmy Ahamed played a very prominent role, behind the scene in the political playing field to cut down former Prisident Mahinda Rajapaksa, Gotabaya Rajapaksa, Basil Rajapaksa and Namal Rajapaksa among the Muslim voters of Sri Lanka, especially in the Colombo Central, Aluthgama and Beruwela. Hilmy Ahamed was the main contact person for Minister Faizer Musthapa to turn coats against President Mahinda Rajapaksa at the very last moment, around the last week/1st week of January 2015.

Things have changed since the Presidential Elections – January 8th.,2015 and the General Elections – September 14th., 2015. The duped and hoodwinked Muslim voters who were made to vote” the Hansaya” have begun to understand the treachery of these Muslim Civil Society Leaders, Community Leaders, and Ulema Sabai Leaders by the action of the Yahapalana Government” now. The latest denouncing of the Yahapalana Government” comes from the former MUSLIM Chairman of the Panadura PS, Ifaz Naushan, a staunch supporter of the Sri Lanka Podu Peramuna presently. This is what he had to tell the media:

ஞானசார தேரரின் பின்னால் ஒரு அமைச்சர் இருப்பதாக கூறுவது வெறும்பூச்சாண்டி, நல்லாட்சியே இருக்கிறது என்பதை அரசு ஒத்துல்க்கொள்ள வேண்டும்என பானதுறை பிரதேச சபை முன்னாள் தலைவர் இபாஸ்நபுஹான்குறிப்பிட்டுள்ளார்”. Translation – Blaming that there is a minister behind Gnanasara Thero is a bluff. The government has to accept the fact that it is the government behind Gnanarasa Thero.

But UNP Colombo Central MP, Mujeebu Rahuman vehemently threw challenges at the Yahapalana Government and also blamed the UNP leadership for the present plight of the Muslim community. MP Mujeebu Rahuma stated that many times during the Sirasa MINNAL POLITICAL PROGRAMME” (https://youtu.be/XMx98osl-lQ?t=755) (http://shakthitv.lk/minnal-11-06-17/) moderated by Sri Ranga, that the 21 Muslim parliamentarians will decide soon to step-down from the Yahapalana government” and sit in the parliament as a separate group if immediate action is not taken against BBS Ganasara Thero. MP Mujeebu Rahuman stated that he is stating this with authority as it has been decided by all Muslim MP’s at a meeting held recently and it was THE CALL OF THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY”, In Sha Allah. Have the Muslim MP’s and Muslim Ministers begun to lose their pride and accept reality, Insha Allah?This is what The Muslim Voice” has been praying for in the wilderness of the Muslim political playing field since the inception of the Muslims being betrayed by the Yahapalana Government” with regards to the BBS atrocities and the slanders made by Gnanasara Thero against Islam and the Holy Prophet Mohamed (SAL).

The Muslim Youth and the young professionals of the community have begun to use SOCIAL MEDIA” to challenge these scoundrels. They have begun to oppose the contemplated move by the Muslim Yahapalana Government” MP’s to continue in the government of Maithripala Sirisena and Ranil Wickremasinghe that has refused to meet with the 21 Muslim MP’s who have made a request in writing to President Sirisena to give them a time to thrash out the issues of the Muslims, viz-a-viz the BBS atrocities and the step motherly treatment given to the development activities in Muslim areas and the issues of resettlement of Muslims displaced during the war in the North and Eastern provinces and to amend the Muslim laws that are in the statute books in Sri Lanka since independence which is a political move by the Yahapalana Government” to please the European Union in order to expedite the granting of the GSP facilities that are been withheld since 2010. It is also alleged that this is one of the conditions the EU has laid down, if the EU is to restore the GSP + Plus concessions to Sri Lanka.

The Yahapalana Government” has no consideration to the Muslim Community issues or the MUSLIM FACTOR” at all. The Yahapalana Government” is NOT going listen to the Muslim Civil Society Leaders, Community Leaders and Ulema Sabai Leaders, though they have been making BIG NOISES” about the MUSLIM FACTOR” over the last two years, since bringing President Maithripala Sirisena and the Yahapalana government (PM. Ranil Wickremasinghe) to power with our tipping the balance” – nearly 800,000 votes plus the Tamil votes. The majority President Maithripa Sirisena got was 649,072 votes. Since our vote-bank had been traded by our politicians, the SLMC is dead. The ACMC is busy making money and covering the corruption charges made against them and the Muslim politicians stooging the UNP are ONLY interested in their personal benefits.

The ungrateful Muslim politicians who benefited the most from Mahinda Rajapaksa, Basil Rajapaksa and Gotabaya Rajapaksa are now stooging the Yahapalana government. As a result of all these deceptions, Muslims in Sri Lanka do NOT have a voice – a POLITICAL VOICE for that purpose. The Yahapalana government (President Maithripala Sirisena and PM Ranil Wickremaratne) have forgotten that it was the minority Muslim votes and the Tamil votes and a very small fraction of the Sinhala votes that tipped the balance for the Hansaya” to win the Presidential Elections and the General elections in 2015. The en-block Muslim votes and Tamil votes to the Muslim candidates and the Tamil candidates made the Yahapalana government to get their majority in parliament in the 2015 general elections and enjoy a 2/3 majority. In the next elections, surely the Muslims are contemplating to vote the Joint Opposition” to power. A wise decision will be the most beneficial for the Muslims after all, In Sha Allah.

I do not deny that Muslims and Tamils stick together at the last presidential election and voted against Mahinda. Then again, bulk of Muslims and Tamils never voted Mahinda at any election. Traditionally, they were UNP backers.

For one thing, there was no Gnanasara and/or BBS factor in 2010. Both Muslims and Tamils were greatly benefitted by the end of the war. Yet bulk of the Tamil and Muslim voted for Fonseka in 2010. With the blame game fixing the responsibility on Gnanasara for Beruwala incidents Muslims voted en masse for Sirisena in 2015.

Perhaps I must mention that the decisive factor in 2015 had been not Tamils and Muslims, but gullible Sinhala Buddhists who sought a ‘wenasa’ (change) for their betterment. In fact, much more than the total number of Muslim voters have shifted from Mahinda camp of 2010 to Sirisena camp in 2015.

Good luck to you Nizam. As for me, I wouldn’t bet on Muslims and Tamils voting Mahinda/Gota in the future even for six million-dollars to one.

I completely agree with everything Leeds said above, especially that it is the gullible Sinhala Buddhists who sank MR’s ship, given that Tamils and Muslims will ALWAYS VOTE for the UNP when push comes to shove.
